Hundreds of middle and high school athletes from across the country will converge at Duke this weekend for the Russell E. Blount East Coast Invitational Track Meet.

The meet runs from Friday morning to Sunday and will affect parking and traffic on campus, especially around Wallace Wade Stadium.

Duke staff, faculty and students with parking permits for Bassett Drive, the Grounds lot, the 751 lot and the Blue Zone will still have access to those areas but should allow additional time for traffic congestion. Alert notices are being emailed to permit holders.

Visitors attending the track meet can park along Bassett Drive or in the 751 lot. Parking will cost $5 per day or $10 for a weekend pass. Parking attendants will be at those locations to accept payment.
